A pretty clifftop town with rolling hills and gorgeous views

The gorgeous town of Sorrento is perched atop rocky cliffs on a beautiful headland and boasts breathtaking views over the Gulf of Naples and Mount Vesuvius. Breathe in the fresh fragrant air that drifts across rolling hills from the clusters of orange and lemon groves and explore the old town's winding maze of narrow cobbled alleyways.

Best time to visit

April to October is the ideal time to visit Sorrento as the days are brighter and enjoy more sunshine. From November to March, beaches and outdoor pools are not operational.

All areas in Neapolitan Riviera

Amalfi

At the heart of this famous stretch of Amalfi coast lies the stunning resort of Amalfi which perches dramatically on a cliff, overlooking enticing blue seas. The glorious setting boasts spectacular jagged cliff lines, traditional fishing villages, white-washed villas that cling precariously to the cliff face and lovely hotels with some of the most spectacular views in the region. Stroll to the colourful town centre which is bursting with designer boutiques, restaurants and streetside cafés that offer mesmerising views. Hire a car to discover this beautiful region at leisure.

Anacapri, Capri & Ischia

Unquestionably, the islands in the Bay of Naples, Capri and Ischia are the holiday princesses of the Italian islands. Idyllic, rugged Capri, the palace island of the Emperor Tiberius, exudes an air of exclusivity and glamour. Ischia, blessed with beautiful beaches and crystal clear waters, is largely volcanic and renowned for its magnificent thermal springs, loved by Italians and tourists alike.

Positano

The charming town of Positano enjoys a dramatic setting on a coastal road between Sorrento and Amalfi in an enclave position that offers a year round mild climate. Pastel-washed houses cascade down the steep hillside like a colourful waterfall to the seafront and bustling centre.

Ravello

Perched high above Amalfi, Ravello is one of the most attractive resorts in the area and is known for its majestic gardens and ravishing panoramic Mediterranean views. The historic village is popular with visitors to the Amalfi Coast and its traffic-free streets and squares offer a peaceful escape.

Naples

Beautifully spread like a peacock’s tail on the Bay of Naples and overlooked by Mount Vesuvius, Naples is a vibrant city with much to see and do. Its compact centre revolves around just a few streets and is riddled with palaces, churches, convents and monasteries.
Italy’s third largest city is brimming with historic and artistic treasures. Indulge in some of the city’s delicious pizzas – Naples is famously the birth place of this popular food. While here be sure to visit Piazza del Plebiscito, home to a domed church and the Royal Palace, and explore Naples’ fascinating underground city, a cavernous world that’s home to wartime shelters.
